What’s a reasonable price range for a Passenger Tire, Radial 215/55R16. UGQA tire rating must be decent.  
I’d say $100-$120, but is that reasonable? **FYIs:** I will be shopping in Newark, DE area at a privately owned tire store (i.e., not Walmart) and not a brand store (i.e., “Goodyear”, “Firestone”, “Michelin” store, etc.), unless you see an advantage.

Your thoughts?

Off hand, I’d say you’re a bit high but close enough. I also buy cheapos so my perception may be skewed.

ETA - Actually, according to the link, you’re maybe a bit low. Still pretty close.

Tire Rack is an excellent place to buy tires. I buy from them almost exclusively. You can get a reasonably good rated touring tire in your size for under $100 each. Shipping is free. Plenty of reviews and test results across various attributes. What more can you ask?
